Then refocuses on the matter at hand - "I'm getting Wolf flashbacks to this whole Monster thing. It's serving as a pretty good means to keep all the Chiefs locked up in one place, with one of them. We can try and save Duma, but we have no way of knowing if he's the only Enemy, and we only have one Orb. And we still don't know if Edward is around; he might just go under if we pre-empt his move." - he pauses a moment - "For now, i don't see any other path but to go take out that Monster. It's the only thing that might open some doors to us."

Steve rubs his chin while thinking about what Mihai said. "That makes sense to me. What should our first move be? We could go to the brothel and poke around a bit. Or maybe approach someone in authority and offer to help as Coins."

"They probably will be, yeah. But it should have the side effect of drawing the locals out to watch so we should have plenty of people to question. We may have to sneak into the crime scene when the cops aren't around but that has other problems, mainly being out at night."

"Before we go any further..." - Mihai says after some deep thought - "Femke, we've also obtained new information, that we should share with you."

Mihai proceeds to explain about the Green Mages' vulnerability, and the Elementals' plan to enslave Humanity (which now might be more akin to destroy).

"For good reason, this knowledge has been kept secret for generations now. We aren't sworn to keep it that way, but i still understand why it can never come out in the open." Then he shows her the Orb.

"This can save a Green Mage from being mind-jacked. All of us have one, for a whole lot of reasons. They're good for more than one thing, though they can also be dangerous when misused."

He pauses for just a second, even if he doesn't believe the girl needs time to process - "Breeze could normally make a few of these, but right now we have only the one. If we save someone with it, we won't be able to help anyone else until we get Breeze back."

The Tyke woman considers the implications of these revelations. She puts a hand on her chin, and after a long moment of reflection, she says, "If Zenon Duma is under the influence of the Enemy, and what you told me about Edward wanting to eliminate this threat is true, the Tournament would most likely be the way to do it."
